After his death, the work of Roger Bacon lapsed into obscurity, no doubt due to his reputation as a sorcerer. Stories of his magical prowess kept his name alive, and in 1589, he featured in a play by Robert Greene, The History of Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay, which competed for audiences with Marlowe s Doctor Faustus. Like Faustus, Bacon regrets his magic, but unlike Marlowe s protagonist, he recants and is allowed to live (it is his slapstick servant, Miles, who is transported to hell). In a more recent tribute, Umberto Eco makes Bacon William of Baskerville s hero in The Name ojthe Rose.

The problem was solved by Francis Bacon, a British scientist and engineer, who developed an idea proposed by Sir William Grove in 18.39. A fuel cell generates electricity directly from a chemical reaction, as in a battery, but uses reactants that are supplied continuously, as in an engine. A fuel cell that runs on hydrogen and oxygen is currently installed on the space shuttle (see Fig. L.l). An advantage of this fuel cell is that the only product of the cell reaction, water, can be used for life support.

Dr. William W. Jacques further explored the carbon approach in 1896. His fuel cells had a carbon rod central anode in the electrolyte of molten potassium hydroxide. He made a fuel cell system of 100 cylindrical cells, which produced as much as 1500 W. Francis T. Bacon worked on fuel cells to produce alkaline systems that did not use noble metal catalysts in the 1930s. He developed and built a 6 kW alkaline hydrogen-oxygen system in 1959. In the same year, Dr. Harry Ihrig introduced...

Fuel cells did not boom again for more than 50 years, although there was occasional activity in Europe. Then another person appeared on the scene, a man in the same vein as Sir William Grove, but much, much more persistent. This was Francis Thomas Bacon, and since it was he who stood directly behind NASA s use of fuel cells in the space flights, it can truly be said that more than any other individual, it was... 

The history of fuel cells is lengthy. The first fuel cell, indeed, was produced in 1839 by a British judge, Sir William Grove. It was not until 1959 that Tom Bacon, a member of the family of Francis T. Bacon (who first enunciated the scientific method of experimentation and communication) made practical a 5-kW fuel cell. Tom Bacon,...
